Writing proofs is also a lot of fun after some time. It's like seeing the matrix, the structure behind, that really explains why things are true :)

I enjoyed proofs a lot more than the “Solve for x” stuff. I’m going through a pre-calc workbook and realizing that I really like the logic and proof-oriented math; the exploratory stuff. It worked for me in college, and it still works for me now.

The book by Velleman inspires people who know programming languages. It teaches us to appreciate proofs the same way we appreciate solving a programming problem. I won't ever have the same opinion about proofs as before now that i'm reading this book... With this point of view, math is hard but fun!

While self-study is a necessary process to get better at math, your channel provides an excellent supplement for the massively underrated "community" component of learning mathematics.

Self-studying is a lot of fun. You really have the time to sit and ponder every bit you come across. You have the time to try and fail, to review your work and actually learn. Studying for an exam is a different story. Often times I find that one focuses too much on getting a good grade and you forget your primary goal must be learning the best you can to improve your craft.

Hey Sorcerer, I wanted to propose a video idea that I think many of us will benefit from. The idea is if you could perhaps display how you would study for a certain subject or topic, maybe we could simulate your style of studying. It would mean a lot; particularly to me and those of us that really struggles with our studying methods and even sometimes following instructions, a visual guide would be somewhat more defining. Maybe it’s something you could do? Thank you for everything. 🙂

I love self-studying now, and I'm definitely way better at learning math now than I was even in my math masters program. BUT! there's a caveat: I'm so much better at self-study now bc I got feedback on my proofs from professors and built my foundation based on that feedback. My big piece of advice for self-studiers is to seek out quality feedback on your proofs wherever you can. Getting corrected on your mistakes will be lessons that really stick well in your brain. Also for current students, build self-study habits even within the classes you're taking as others have mentioned in the comments here. Another bit of advice: if you really want to do math as a career path, just throw your soul into the mathematics while you have the opportunity to make that time investment now. The Math Sorcerer gave great advice along these lines in a recent vid. Balance is important in life, but you're not going to have many other opportunities like you do now to just fully devote as much of your day-to-day life to mathematics like you do now, and the foundation you build from the effort you make now will pay dividends down the road. My biggest obstacle to doing math now is just not having the available time outside of my job to devote the necessary effort to it. Good luck! Learning math is worth it!

Hi, I really appreciate your devotion towards mathematics. I’m a draftsman and a 3d modeler and recently started studying programming. Through programming I discovered a much more practical mathematics and since then it gave me a huge curiosity to learn more about it. I would like to ask you, what makes you different from the other by knowing the math you know now ? How knowing math has helped in your life towards problem-solving ? And at last, but not least, what is the difference between a mathematician and a problem-solver. Thank you for your precious time. My best regards.

I remember when I started learning calculus almost a year ago, I started by reviewing some very basic math and also by learning some requirements like trig because my math was very, very rusty at the time. And I left some topics like algebra or geometry a little bit aside, thinking that I would probably pick them up along the way (so I could focus on Calculus). And oh boy, did I struggle at the beginning. It took me quite a while to understand something as basic as to why an absolute value could have a positive or negative value, or why the solution was expressed as a system or how did it all of it work. But I tried my best to understand it. And I did understand it and kept moving on. And in the end, while doing it that way was quite painful because I didn't have a very strong foundation, it also helped me to understand how to approach my studies much better, up to a point where I don't really struggle that much anymore and I got to multivariable calculus without too much problems. It's true that I keep forgetting a lot of stuff, but maybe I do one day of reviewing and then try to move on and try to catch up with what I forget as I go. And I think I'm doing quite well, although I must admit I don't have any kind of pressure such as exams or grades, so it's probably much easier for me to do this than it will be for people who has to do exams.

Right now I'm self studying the book "Mathematics of Classical and Quantum Physics" by Byron and Fuller. I find the best way to do review basic calculus is to just go back and review topics as I need them. For example, I ran into some pretty hefty partial derivatives while studying the calculus of variations, so I picked up my copy of Thomas Calculus and reviewed them. It helped a lot.

At the start of my Physics Undergrad (1981), I was jazzed to study the kind of stuff I enjoyed as a kid, *and* daunted at the prospect of embracing all of my ignorance laid before me as I read course descriptions, degree requirements and prowled just the Math and Physics shelves in the Science Library. Sometimes the derivative is small, but aspire to know & experience a little more today than yesterday. You can learn more than you think you can. During the past couple of years, I've had to revisit Linear Algebra and Complex Analysis for a new work assignment related to signal processing, so I could learn signal processing. Topics I found challenging in my 20's are much more self-evident now that I'm in my 20's for the 3rd time. Self-study is a great secret weapon!

I am spending these next few months leading up to that building the foundation for my understanding of math, as I haven't taken any courses in it since undergrad in 2020.

I completely agree. ☺️ I’ve been avoiding studying the mathematics behind the flatness problem in cosmology. It turns out to be based on Friedmann’s equations (which are in turn based on Einstein’s eqns). It was daunting, but I finally dove in and I’m realizing it wasnt so bad. 😅 I was suddenly happy I took a class on differential geometry in my fourth year of my Bachelor’s degree. I had to push past my discomfort.

Something I have noticed with math is the progression and depth of understanding of the previous or supporting subject. I mean algebra became so much easier once I was in calculus. First order calculus became easier when I took Advanced Calculus. While learning a subject, it feels difficult. However, I found the previous subjects clearer or easier to master while working at the next level. Thanks for the video.

Intellectually, providing proofs as the normal answer to exercises, with some algebraic manipulation embedded in some cases, is the real barrier. It is not the book, reading it, understanding it, taking notes, etc. In my case, my issues were (and are) a mindset problem. We assume automatically, unconsciously even, that the results and contents in every piece of Math we learn along the way, are the knowledge we are seeking for. We learnt basic algebraic manipulations, we use them for everything afterwards, we didn't stop using them after the course finished. we didn't stop using them when the topic is not about basic algebra. But we stop thinking on the results and contents from many other Math courses after we finished with them. And we don't think about them as we do with addition and subtraction, like we do with multiplication, ... but we need to think about limits, derivatives, equivalence relations, counting, cardinality, combinatorics, range, domain, injunction and disjunction,... everything you learn in every class is not only the object of study themselves. It is not there only for you to pass the course and the topic is over. They are the tools to carry on. They are your new shoes to walk the path that is ahead, to go forward. Use them, all of them, to get from the definitions available to you in every exercise topic (write them down) towards the solution that you should be able to write in full as an expression as well, or as another definition. Write them not in words only but in Mathematical notation. Go from one to the other, use small steps, like adding a number, but with your new tools as well, one step only at a time. And use your new shoes, be aware of your previous results and use them as tools like addition, subtraction and other basic tools like logic or set theory. This is the jump I needed to take to go forward.

When I found out “Hey, I actually think mathematically,” I built a roadmap. I got 2 books on mathematics (“An illustrated history of numbers: 100 ponderables” and “The Math Book” by Clifford A), studied them to self test on knowledge. I still need to complete it for the math book; I got bothered by all the name theorems because I’m just bad with names in general. But I really studied that one in a way I didn’t with the first, a bordering on research matter for me. Then, I would go back to all the stuff up to where I left off in college, with relevant materials. I’d have a knowledge base for going back to school of what’s ahead of me, with a firmer foundation in all the math before. Once I’ve finished the Pre-Calc to Calc review, it’s gonna be the proof-stuff. I also have two handbooks of mathematics; they’re very cool and provide a roadmap of their own.

Hi Math Sorcerer, majority of my high school I was in Turkey. I was excelling at math, but when I came to US I realized something bad. When explained in English math is very complex. I am mainly talking about the names in it. For example, instead of isosceles triangle we say Twin side triangle. It is a triangle that has 2 identical sides, so twin side triangle makes sense and I instantly know what it means because the definition itself is in the name. I acquired the books you recommended and things like this slows me down. In these occasions I have to copy the word and look it up to see what it means. I think math is already complex enough, and we should not deal with Latin and unfamiliar words. I mean I can get over it, it is not the end of the world, but when names become simple, you can read and breeze through a book with ease. So yeah, I find English math books so unnecessarily hard and difficult. I don't think this is my lack of proficiency in English, I consider myself more sophisticated and articulate compared to my peers. I read regularly, but I think math should be as simple as possible to be more accessible and less intimidating for beginners. Also simplicity makes math more efficient and clear. Please let me know if you agree or not and why.

After many years I have found out the best way I learn things is to jump into the deep end and just try to figure things out. It feels like beating your head into a concrete block repeatedly in the beginning, but it is by far the most successful method for me. At the moment I'm struggling with some algebraic topology more specifically Obstruction theory and Steenrod Squares. I work as a data scientist so my aim is more deriving interesting tools than all-out proof-writing, but topology is a cool field either way.

You should do a video about the astounding power of tutoring math to others in order to increase your math skills. After finishing my physics degree i got a job tutoring math to high school kids. To my astonishment my skills improved dramatically! I felt like i became an algebra expert (when i thought i was petty good already!). I don't know what it is about tutoring, but it seems to have some sort of magical power. What you said about algebra being the foundation of doing well in calculus is so true. After tutoring i reviewed calculus and it all seemed so much clearer than it ever did in college. I only wish i could have tutored math before ever going to college. My life would have been so much easier! Now i always tell my students that algebra 2 is the most important math class they'll ever take, so take it very, very seriously.

As a nuclear engineering PhD with a math and physics BS, I can tell that the difference not mastering proofs makes a when I am learning the math used in engineering. Yeah you do not need to know proofs to solve problems but it will help learn somethings quicker, make connections, and learn more rigorous methods. For some math topics, a lot of engineering books get repetitive and you really need a more advanced book to push your understanding.

What other resources are available other than Khan Academy? Edit: I dropped Calculus I, but now I’m re-learning all math from pre-school to Calculus I, and beyond! More edit: posted comment before watching the video 😅

Who would need to learn to write proofs other than a mathematician? I'm in college for computer science or possibly engineering.

Hi ! Since your a teacher I thought I'd ask. When I was a kid I didn't spend much time in school - I didn't get to learn much while I was there. But I want to know and learn at least basic math . I don't know my reading level, And I don't know how to gauge where I am at with math either. There are colleges and a university in my city. Slipping through the cracks the way I did has hurt my adult hood in some bad ways- Not sure how to go about finding the right help.

Yeah, the tendency to get tired and hungry are two of the most tedious obstacles in the way of long term goals, because the will is to learn, but the natural tendencies of the flesh are to follow distractions and be lead away from what you want to do.

Yes mate, I do have that story. I landed in Mexico speaking zero Spanish. I was told that I had to teach a 6 week course on a subject I didn’t know. And everyone else left. Fortunately, I discovered I have a gift for languages. Otherwise, I’d be broke and stuck in Mexico.

Great vid! I once had to take logic course in the fall and wanted an A to boost my GPA, so during the summer I bought myself a cheap and used textbook on logic from eBay ($4) and studied it every day during the Summer. Did every single problem and if I got stuck, I tried to Iook for other logic books in my library. I got an A in the course.
